Spring 2026 Book Fair
What is the scholastic book fair?
The Scholastic Book Fair is a temporary event hosted at the school where students can buy books at low prices. Books are organized by age/grade level, making shopping easy for students of all ages and reading levels.
Not only do students look forward to the Book Fair, but Scholastic also gives a portion of the proceeds back to Parker PTO, which we then invest back into our school. It is a win-win for the Parker Community!
When can my child shop and purchase books?
During their CCR library time, with a pass from their teacher, or during one of our special events, for adults to join them. All times are provided below:

What forms of payment are accepted?
Cash, Check (Made payable to Parker PTO), E-Wallet, Credit Card & Apple Pay (with guardian permission).
My child is younger; will there be an adult to assist them?
We have volunteers to help at the Book Fair to help students manage available funds/purchases. We recommend sending money in an envelope with their name and teacher’s name on it.
Want to volunteer? Sign up on our Volunteers Page, or 🔗click here.
What is an e-wallet?
An E-Wallet is purchased through Scholastic and is an electronic way for a student to pay without having a physical credit card at school.

Is there a fund where I can donate for students who may not have enough funds for a book?
Here is a link to the Parker Community Account e-wallet. Anyone can make a donation to this e-wallet to benefit students at Parker who may need assistance to purchase a book from the book fair. It is under Ms. Hokanson's name and states 5th grade, however, it is not for 5th grade students exclusively (Scholastic makes us choose a grade level). Students in need of all grade levels will benefit.

Do Grown-ups need to be VIPS-approved to visit or Volunteer at the book fair?
Grown-ups only need to be VIPS-approved if they are volunteering.
If a grown-up is shopping with a student during lunch or after school on Wednesday, they will get a Visitor Pass from the front office.
For Donuts with a Grown-Up, they will enter through Spark Park/gym doors.
Who can I contact if I have questions?
